A truck driver had stopped for dinner at a cafe in a small town
Some of the regulars there noticed him and began sniffing the air.
"I smell nerd," said a regular to the truck driver. "Are you a nerd?"
The truck driver nervously said, "No, I'm not a nerd. Why?"
Another regular said, "Because around here we shoot nerds."
"Yeah," said a third. "It's open season and no limits!"
Now the truck driver was concerned for his safety and said, "Look, I drive a truck. Right now, I have a load of computer equipment. That's probably what you're smelling on me."
The regulars seemed satisfied by his explanation and left him to finish his dinner in peace. As he pulled out of town, his truck hit a bump in the road, and jackknifed, spilling boxes of computers all over the road.
The truck driver watched, horrified, as dozens of nerds started walking out of the nearby woods, attracted by the computers. Thinking quickly, he pulled a rifle out of his cab and started shooting at the nerds.
Very soon, a sheriff's deputy pulled up and arrested the truck driver.
"Why are you arresting me?" he cried. "I thought it was open season on nerds."
"Well, yeah," said the deputy, "But you can't bait 'em."
